I have addaleafs in there now but they are coming out. My options are 3" lift blocks that i have already or the drop shackle reversed idea from Rubberfrog. anyone out there with the Fabtech lift, what method did they use for the rear?

I need probably about a 1" rake since i tow with it often. I got the blocks to put in but now im hesitant. If i went with the shackle flip, I would need like a 4" or 5" drop shackle just to get about 2-3" lift, right? just looking at options before I install the blocks. i dunno, i might just do them and see if i like it. not sure.

 

I'm gonna be adding the 3" drop shackles like Frog to give me an additional 1.5" back there.

 

additional? so what do you have on there now? will you have just the drop shackles or are you using them in conjunction with something else?

 

Ive got 3" blocks and 3" lift shackles on mine

 

i havent gotten under there to look, but i think its just the add-a-leaf that came with the fabtech lift. i've got the same one you do

 

I've got a set of a air-lift air bags in the back of my truck for when I'm towing. They make brackets for lifted trucks as well. I got mine from moes performance.

 

yes airbags are coming too, but that doesnt have anything to do with ride height. I need the rear lifted without the addaleafs.

weedahoe- is that with the fabtech 6"?


AF- when you get the shackles are you removing the addaleafs or are you leaving them in?

 

I am using blocks, but that's because I have a 4" Rancho lift and only needed 2" blocks for the rear. I'm not a big fan of going with 4" blocks needed for a 6" lift kit, so personally, I'd go with shackles...

 

I have the 3" blocks, maybe ill have to do that along with the shackle lift. I guess i should just put the blocks in and see how it is from there. I agree hammer, im no fan of big blocks but im older now haha. So i dont beat the truck or anything, 3" would be alright on mine.

 

just install it. we all know youve had it sitting for a while lol
